High temperature Mosquito hotend

High temperature Mosquito hotend

$299.95Inc GST

The Mosquito Magnum™ prints up to 40 mm^3/sec +

A thermal insulator protects the extended melt zone from the effects of active cooling, and radiative heat loss. It has a heat transmission rate as low as 3 W/m*K, meaning you can have ultimate confidence in the speed of your print, while at the same time maintaining the high resolution benefits achieved with the standard Mosquito

The melt zone is extended proximally upwards to maintain a small form factor

Uses the same RepRap style nozzles as the standard Mosquito™

A multi extrusion setup with both high flow and high resolution optimized designs can be created without needing to purchase new nozzles or make carriage modifications to accommodate hotends of different sizes

Kit Includes:

Mosquito Magnum™ Hotend

Mosquito Magnum™ Mounting Hardware

Set of Mosquito Magnum™ hex keys for assembly, disassembly and mounting

We highly recommend the use of BN paste with the Mosquito Magnum to provide good thermal conductivity between the hotend and heater/thermistor.

Whoever says “Sorry, I can’t do a GoT marathon with you on Saturday, I’m doing a big print,” clearly doesn’t have the Mosquito Magnum hotend that finishes projects 20% faster than other high flow-rate hotends on the market.

Your 3D printer can deliver the high resolution prints and take on engineering-grade plastics that other desktop printers can’t come close to. With minimal layer lines, your vision is about to become reality. Fast.

The Mosquito Magnum hotend has the same precision as our Mosquito hotend, but with a flow rate that is significantly faster.

The Mosquito Magnum is adaptable to virtually any printer, so by swapping one component, you have the high performance benefits of a printer worth thousands more. Since the Mosquito (designed for beauty) and Mosquito Magnum (designed for speed) are the same length, any combination of these hotends can be mounted to one carriage. So you can switch between high-flow and high-precision in the same print.

Oh yeah, and you can change the nozzle with one hand.

Unlock engineering-grade plastics up to 450 °C. That means you can print car parts, medical devices, and whatever else you can dream up, and you don’t have to buy an expensive printer to do the job.

How did we accomplish this?

By reimagining how a hotend is designed and structured from the ground up. The materials in each part of the Mosquito Magnum have been hand selected to perform a specific task to optimize your printer’s performance. We went as far as using the same insulator materials that NASA uses on their space shuttle to protect the hotend’s extended melt zone.

Some might say it’s overkill.

But we say it’s necessary to create something truly excellent.

And it gives you a great anecdote for the next 3D printing convention.

Mosquito Magnum is only available for 1.75 mm filament at this time.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS:

Superior heat break performance

The heat break conducts 85% less heat into the heat sink than a typical threaded heat break

Steep temperature gradient at the heat break, and high tolerances along the filament path allow for better transmission of fine motor movements, resulting in beautiful, higher resolution prints

Steep temperature gradient at the heat break reduces the likelihood of jamming

Reduced heat transmission removes the need for a large heat sink

Composite construction of the heat break allows for the use of materials optimized for heat transfer in each section of the heat break

Allows for hotend to be mounted with a printed, plastic adapter, without raising safety concerns

Increased structural rigidity

The heat break has been separated from the structural components of the hotend, allowing for a heat break that is not load bearing, and can be very thin walled. This allows for a reliable, rigid exterior structure

No components are prone to loosening at the mounting points

Nozzles can be changed with one hand, without grasping the hot block

In the case of a severe crash, an entirely new hotend is not necessary, parts can be easily swapped out

Larger temperature operating range

Specially-engineered high temperature copper alloy in the hot block will not soften at high temperatures in excess of 550C.

Threads in the hot block will not deform at high temps, allowing removal of nozzles even after multiple high temp heat cycles
